A new report says San Francisco's failure to invest in ambulances and medics could be putting patients' safety at risk.
The report by the Board of Supervisors budget and legislative analyst found nearly 2,500 people had to wait last year to be transported to a hospital because an ambulance wasn't immediately available. That's four times the number of people who has to wait in 2008.
The figures were reported by the San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1ojY3I0) over the weekend. The fire department handles the majority of 911 calls seeking medical assistance.
Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White says the city needs to invest in medics and ambulance maintenance, but people shouldn't be concerned about their safety. Though ambulances may be delayed, the department responds to all 911 calls within five minutes with a paramedic.

Joysxee is a Real Eco-Paradise Island That Floats Atop Garbage!
Posted By Lori Zimmer On July 7, 2011 @ 6:21 pm In Architecture,gallery,Solar Power,Sustainable Building | 1 Comment
Sowa began constructing his first island [6] in 1998 not far from Cancun. Collecting empty plastic bottles, plywood and bamboo he'd found on the beach [7], he built up the island to include a two story house and three beaches, with sand from near the shore that was otherwise dredged to let boats through. To keep the island cool, Sowa planted mangroves and other vegetation, which provided shade from heights up to 15 feet. His kitchen was equipped with a solar oven, and his bathroom included a self-composting toilet.
Sadly, Hurricane [8] Emily swept his island away in 2005, turning his eco-home into rubble. Undeterred, he began building the next island, the current Joysxee. The new island is 25 meters in diameter, and floats atop bags of over 125,000 plastic bottles – all which Sowa found in the trash. The new island has improved eco-qualities with solar panels [9], which partly power a waterfall and river! A wave powered washing machine keeps his clothes clean and fresh, and mangroves and three in-island ponds help keep the island cool.
We can't help but recall Gilligan's Island (did we mention that Sowa has a conch shell [10] intercom system?!) An on-island mini farm provides palm trees, sea grapes, mangroves, cacti, spinach, tomatoes, melons, lemons, herbs and flowering shrubs.
Through an ambitious Kickstarter [11]campaign, Sowa hopes to expand the island [12], and launch it out into the lagoon. Further, Sowa hopes to sail Joysxee around the world, and teach visitors that trash can be treasure and even become paradise.

She just wants them to mean something and not be a string of words which flows into itself over and over again.She doesn't like her name either. Not because Emily isn't a pretty name but because she would rather be called something she feels like. (She has never quite forgiven her parents for choosing her name for her.) If she could, she would call herself Glass, because that is what she wakes up feeling like every morning. As if crystallised pieces of glass are edible and her insides tingle as she swallows them whole.Emily lets the words call her names sometimes. She writes them on her knees so that she can remember them. Sometimes the words call her a whore, and sometimes stupid, and sometimes a loser and sometimes a tramp (She has never learnt that loving too much is a crime and boys with pretty eyes sometimes lie.). She sits in the bathroom with a pen the colour of blood and writes them carefully

Hemingway Would Hate ThisThe trouble with the Boy was that he didn't have the heart of Shakespeare, the voice of Poe, nor the soul of Wordsworth, nor the knowledge of Rembrandt in his darkest days. He didn't have a trace of Michaelangelo's spirit nor the angst of Carvaggio and this on its own was enough to dissuade him from understanding that technique was far better than solidarity and possession far more ageless than youth.He didn't have any of this knowledge because his father hadn't had the courage to tell him that he needed all the qualities of these great men, to win over the heart of a woman who had the dreams of Austen, the ideas of Da Vinci and the scent of a high priestess of Venetian origin.The Girl was all those things and more, and her value, her estimate in the market of souls was higher than most. She was an angel amongst Gods, and He should never have let her go into the world thinking that it was Keats hearted. Because like all women who live their lives story shaped, she was soon broken by

Words stolen from conversations, from homes, from mouths that didn't need to speak any more.She found the Lost Boy somewhere in an alley of poetry and a war of lyrics, fighting for his life with a broken piano and a worn tuxedo. She stole him before the bass viols, the gleaming guitars and the thrashing drums could kill him.He fought with her all the way, telling her that they would never hurt him, but she had seen their wooden hands outstretching to wring his neck.

A History of ImaginariumWhen we were young, we believed. In myths, in legends, in stories beyond the wildest imagination of the best story teller in the world. Tomorrow always held surprises, new stories, and new worlds for our imaginations to explore. Everything began with 'Once upon a time' and ended with 'Happily ever after.' We lived in a land where we all owned pet tyrannosaurus rexes, maybe a few dragons, a sword that rivaled Excalibur and faeries and pixies, who just happened to make great playmates. Fae food for some reason always seemed to be so much better than your average meal, and who needs an adult to talk sense to, when you could have a talking lion?But time passed us by. And things changed. We grew up, much to Peter Pan's dismay. And things became what they would never become if we believed.

Protein on human immune cell may be key to stopping infection
TUESDAY, April 29 (HealthDay News) -- Most drugs aimed at suppressing HIV target proteins lying on the virus itself, but new research suggests that focusing on the human host's immune cells might work even better.
That's because human cells mutate at much slower rates than does HIV, so the virus would have much less chance of mutating around the drug, scientists explained.
The research is still in its early stages, but it "provides a very nice model that you can inhibit a cellular protein and affect HIV replication," explained co-senior author Dr. Pamela Schwartzberg, a senior investigator at the U.S. National Human Genome Research Institute.
Her team published the findings in this week's edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Almost all antiretroviral drugs work by targeting a viral protein. But HIV replicates continually, raising the odds for drug-resistant mutations. For this reason, HIV-positive patients must often take two or three different medications, so that if one drug fails, the others will still fend off the virus.
But there's another player in HIV infection: the human immune system T-cell, the virus' preferred host. T-cells carry their own surface proteins, but because humans replicate much less often than HIV, the odds of developing drug-resistant genetic mutations are much lower.
"If you are looking to affect a human protein, it's going to be much less susceptible to the process of developing resistance," explained Rowena Johnston, vice president of research at The Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) in New York City.
In their research, Schwartzberg and co-senior author Andrew Henderson, of Boston University, decided to focus on a T-cell protein called interleukin-2-inducible T-cell kinase (ITK). ITK is a "signaling" protein that works in a variety of ways to

Apple Confirms Anobit Purchase: Report
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Apple (AAPL - Get Report) acknowledged its purchase of Israeli flash memory specialist Anobit on Wednesday, according to a media report.
Apple spokesman Steve Dowling confirmed the acquisition in a telephone interview with Bloomberg, but did not elaborate on the company's plans for Anobit. "Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans," Dowling said.
Rumors of a possible deal had swirled in recent weeks. It's believed Apple made the purchase to secure flash memory parts for its iPad, iPhone and Mac lines. Anobit was already a supplier to Apple prior to the acquisition.
Reports suggested Apple paid somewhere between $400 million and $500 million for the company, though Apple did not disclose the price. If true, this would make it one of Apple's largest acquisitions ever, and may suggest a strategy shift when it comes to acquisitions.
Back in December, the office of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote a tweet welcoming Apple to Israel. "Welcome to Israel, Apple Inc. on your 1st acquisition here. I'm certain that you'll benefit from the fruit of the Israeli knowledge," it tweeted. There had been speculation that Apple might acquire a flash memory company, with some speculating Fusion-IO (FIO) as a potential target. Fusion-IO's Chief Data Scientist is Steve Wozniak, an Apple co-founder. Apple may also build a research & development center in Israel, following in the footsteps of companies such as Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report) and Intel (INTC - Get Report). Apple could not be immediately reached for comment on this story. Apple shares were sliding Wednesday, off 0.5% to $421.03. Interested in more on Apple?

Businesses in Ireland are cutting their usage of cheques to make payments faster than the general public, according to new research from the Central Bank today.
The research shows that, as cheque volumes continue to decline, business cheque usage is reducing faster than consumer usage. Ireland is now one of only six EU member states that use cheques for regular payments.
Cheques issued in Ireland are projected to be 61 million in 2014, down from 69 million in 2013 and from 132 million in 2005. Based on the survey, cheques issued by businesses will be an estimated 28 million in 2014, down from 33 million in 2012. Consumer-issued cheques are also falling, from 26 million in 2012 to an estimated 23 million in 2014.
The analysis shows that of all cheques, businesses issue 47pc, slightly higher than in 2012, but are recipients of 43pc, down considerably from 50pc in 2012. SMEs account for 80pc of these in each case. Consumers issue 37pc of all cheques, up 2pc since 2012, and receive 49pc, up from 44pc in 2012.
It found that 66pc of all business cheques issued are for E1,000 or less while 41pc of cheques issued by consumers are for E100 or less. The public sector issues 11pc of cheques the vast majority of which are social welfare payments.
Programme Manager of the National Payments Plan Ronnie O'Toole said: "While businesses, small businesses in particular, remain the largest user group of cheques, it is clear that businesses are recognising the benefits of electronic payments and are now leading the migration away from cheque usage."
"For a small business, or indeed any business, costs include 50c stamp duty on each cheque, bank charges, postal charges as well as administration and processing costs."
The National Payments Plan, though not setting an end-date for cheques in Ireland, is targeting a significant reduction from present levels. Next month's e-Day sees another step in this process when, from September 19th, public sector bodies will no longer issue or accept cheques in their dealings with businesses.

I'm changing a wall switch, which controls a ceiling fan and light (two separate controls on the switch). The switch I bought said it can be wired to all existing fan/light wiring. It has three wires coming out of it: fan, light, power(hot). The old one had four wires: fan, light, power, ground. The new one does not have a ground wire or even a terminal to connect the bare ground wire that used to be connected to the green ground of the old switch. Did I get the wrong switch or am I to simply connect the bare ground wire to the screw holding the new switch box to the wall box? Thanks! |

Grounded switches can only be replaced with grounded switches. You need to get another switch, just as you had before, that includes a equipment grounding terminal or wire. |

Switches 2008 NEC Article 409.9(B) "Grounding": "Snap switches, including dimmer and similar control switches, shall be connected to an equipment grounding conductor and shall provide a means to connect metal faceplates to the equipment grounding conductor, whether or not a metal faceplate is installed. Snap switches shall be considered to be part of the effective ground-fault current path if either of the following conditions is met: (1) The switch is mounted with metal screws to a metal box or metal cover that is connected to an equipment grounding conductor or to a nonmetallic box with integral means for connecting to an equipment grounding conductor. (2)An equipment bonding jumper is connected to an equipment grounding termination of the snap switch." ---------------------------- It is a code violation to use the ungrounded switch he purchased and needs to replace it. |

Assuming conditions are adequate (water, fert, sun vs. shade, temp etc), when do Yuletides start getting the new little green foliage shoots poking out of the stems? |
Follow-Up Postings:
'Yuletide' is a vernalis hybrid, so it may not be on the same schedule as the japonicas which have their foliage growth spurt in the spring after they're done blooming. Having said that, most plants do seem to wait for the warmer spring temps before they risk putting out new growth. Are you concerned about whether your plant successfully made it through some cold weather? If your plant got zapped by cold, it may take a little longer than usual to put out new leaf buds. Good luck! |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

"This is now the only scone recipe I use! After trying many others (I love scones!), this seems to be the best consistency, taste, etc. and you can easily change the flavor to suit your mood--one of my favorites is substituting lemon zest and dried blueberries. I often do not use the glaze and serve with lemon or orange curd--Yum!"
"So easy and SPECTACULAR! This recipe makes a lot, but that is a good thing because a bag/box of this makes a great gift for everyone and anyone.

"This is a great base recipe. I followed it exactly except used fresh broccoli which I chopped and boiled for that last three minutes with the noodles.

"Yummmm! Even though I made a few changes to make these even healthier, they tasted wonderful. I used 1 cup egg whites, subbed apple sauce for almost all of the oil, used 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup white flour and 1/2 cup oat bran, subbed nonfat plain yogurt for the sour cream, and reduced the sugar to about 2/3 cup.

"Tasted good, but not the best looking...still tasted great on a salad with pears and feta. I doubled the recipe and put on very large baking sheet, but did not increase time. Nuts were not as crunchy as I hoped, but still good. Next time, I will increase cooking time slightly."

Tax Question! Thanks in advance for your help!
My boyfriend and I purchased a house 8/1/2008 as Joint Tenants. The mortgage, title, everything is in both of our names. The mortgage comes out of his bank account each month through autmatic withdrawal. I write him a check for $1200 each month to pay for the mortgage, however. I am a first-time home buyer (this was the first home I ever purchased.) He already owns a house and has owned it for 11 years. We currently have both homes as we are waiting until the market rebounds before putting home #1 on the market). So this new house is his second house and my first. He is claiming the interest on the mortgage for house #1. I want to claim the interest on the mortgage plus the $7500 tax credit for first time home buyer for house #2 (the home purchased 8/1/08.) Can I do this as the mortgage payment for both homes comes out of his bank account, yet I am paying for it via check to him every month? |

If you are part owner of the house, you are entitled to deduct the part of the mortgage interest that corresponds with the part of your ownership -- if half, then half. And your friend can deduct the other half. If you get audited, the only justification you would need to support your deduction is proof of home ownership as joint tenants and proof from the bank statement that the interest was paid. I do not believe you will be asked to "prove" that you actually personally paid the mortgage interest. The only time when such a proof would be required in an audit (I think!) is if there were suspicion of fraud, like if the total interest deducted by more than one person exceeded the actual interest paid. The IRS receives from the bank copies of the mortgage interest paid. So if the bank statment and the total deducted by you and your boyfriend are in agreement, there should be no problem. As to your other question, about the tax credit, go to the IRS website << irs.gov >> and do a search on "first time home buyer" or some similar term. The website is vast, and it will probably take a lot of hunting before you find document you are looking for. Read it very closely to see if it addresses your particular situation. If it does not, you can take a chance and put in for a HALF tax credit, half because only you are a first home buyer, and hope for the best. But be prepared to be questioned on it, and be prepared to pay back the credit, if it was given to you, plus interest. Alternatively, you could call the IRS 800#, and ask your question. In my limited experience, the answer you get depends on your luck. You might get someone who knows the code well and can give you a helpful, informed answer. OR, you might get someone who will read to you verbatim the wording in the code that you yourself could get from the website. Don't forget the IRS code is very complicated, so complicated that even tax experts make mistakes. |
Whose SSN is listed on the mortgage interest 1098 received from the bank? If it's you boyfriends it still doesn't mean that you can't claim the mortgage interest, but it does mean that your BF will have to report the interest expense then back it out as reported by your SSN. Assuming the house you both purchased was over $150,000. Then you should be able to claim the full housing credit.But be advise you have to repay that money back over the next 15 years. Starting in 2010 you'd be paying $500 in extra tax for 15 years. It's not a credit really, it's an interest free loan. |

It is his SSN that is on the 1098. I will do like you suggest and claim the interest expense once he backs out of it. I have been trying to follow the Economic Stimulus plan and read the revisions discussed on Wed and looks like you are correct that it would be a $7500 interest free loan (for me) as we purchased the home 8/1/08. It seems to suggest that the new bill will give a $8000 tax credit (NOT needing to be repaid) to people who buy a home in 09. Thanks for your help! |

I already am claiming the mortgage interest on my current home. I have recently bought another house as an investment and would like my daughter to occupy it and pay the mortgage, insurance and property taxes. How could I give her the right to claim the mortgage interest without transfering title to her? |

I ordered a Hallmark Card cd and it came with a bonus cd that has games, etc. on it. the card cd downloaded okay but the bonus cd won't download. Was wondering if you could figure out what is wrong. I hope my terminology is right and that you know what I mean. Thanks for any help I can get. BT |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you visit the Hallmark website you will see "Live chat" button near the top right, click it and explain things. Have your invoice and any other pertinent data ready of course. I suspect it will be like most chats, you actually type back and forth so there should be no language problems. |
Be careful with your words, brownthumb, so that you can explain yourself. "Download" is most usually used to mean to getting files from a network or the internet. If you have a CD, there's nothing to download, what you're looking for is in your hand, not elsewhere. You can Run Good luck. |

Open Unhappiness
by Bob Garfield on Jan 28, 7:30 AM
It is embarrassing, and a bit perplexing -- and admittedly a bit satisfying -- to watch the Coca-Cola Co. twist in the wind. Phony declarations of "bringing people together" will be a self-fulfilling prophecy, but that will come in the form of a mob. P.R. palaver won't generate sympathy. Honesty will. The time has come for radical truth.

The Truthiness Is Out There
by Bob Garfield on Jan 21, 8:41 AM
Lance Armstrong appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Network to explain 20 years of cheating, lying and cruel personal destruction of his truthful critics. Although he apologized for his conduct, he left the distinct impression that he was sorry mainly for getting caught. And his claim that he did not force his teammates into doping, among other continued denials, sounds like a crock.

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy - I Have Antibiotics In My Tummy
by Bob Garfield on Jan 14, 8:00 AM
Yum Brands Inc., a company that for decades has been serially dishonest with its customers about the relative healthfulness of its products, is now under suspicion of pulling a fast one on China. According to "The Wall Street Journal," in 2010 and 2011, Yum submitted chicken samples to government testing agencies that contained unlawful levels of antibiotics. The question is whether the company then took corrective action, or covered its tracks and continued to purchase chicken from the two poultry suppliers where the samples originated.

Messaging The Shooter
by Bob Garfield on Jan 7, 7:25 AM
The media are awash in gratuitous violence -- just as they were in the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Countless dime novels, broadcasts, comic books and movies titillated audiences with gunplay and body counts -- resulting somehow in vanishingly few actual mass shootings of actual flesh-and-blood Americans. And why? Because guns were harder to come by.

text: News Tom And Sienna Trench Kissing For Burberry 01 July 2013 Sarah Karmali SIENNA MILLER and Tom Sturridge are the new faces of Burberry. The engaged couple star in the brand's autumn/winter 2013-14 campaign and share a kiss for the cameras - marking the first time that they have been shot professionally together as a pair.It seems that newlywed chief creative officer Christopher Bailey is feeling somewhat romantic this season - not least seen through the brand's recent Burberry kisses project - with this new campaign described as "a continuation of the playful and romantic mood". The images were photographed by Mario Testino, while the video campaign is accompanied by a specially created version of Tom Odell's Hold Me - which was recorded live at the Burberry Prorsum show during London Fashion Week in February."This was a shoot full of love and laughter," said Bailey. "It was such a treat to work with Sienna and Tom, and to capture their magic together."The news is not quite the big reveal that the British brand had perhaps hoped for: rumours that the pair had shot the new campaign first emerged back in April - whispers that were only strengthened when Sienna attended the Met Ball wearing Burberry and accompanied by Bailey. The actress has also worn the label almost exclusively for the past few months.Miller and Sturridge join the likes of Emma Watson, Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, Edie Campbell and Romeo Beckham in starring in a Burberry campaign.

From the wikipedia page on Division by Zero: "The IEEE 754 standard specifies that every floating point arithmetic operation, including division by zero, has a well-defined result".
MATLAB supports this fully:
>> 1/0 ans = Inf >> 1/(-0) ans = -Inf >> 0/0 ans = NaN
Julia is almost there, but doesn't handled the signed 0 correctly (This is using Version 0.2.0-prerelease+3768 on Windows)
julia> 1/0 Inf julia> 1/(-0) Inf julia> 0/0 NaN
Python throws an exception. (Python 2.7.5 using IPython shell)
In [4]: 1.0/0.0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZeroDivisionError Traceback (most recent call last) in () ----> 1 1.0/0.0 ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero In [5]: 1.0/(-0.0) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZeroDivisionError Traceback (most recent call last) in () ----> 1 1.0/(-0.0) ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero In [6]: 0.0/0.0 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZeroDivisionError Traceback (most recent call last) in () ----> 1 0.0/0.0 ZeroDivisionError: float division by zero
Julia does do things correctly, provided I make it clear that I am working with floating point numbers:
julia> 1.0/0.0 Inf julia> 1.0/(-0.0) -Inf julia> 0.0/0.0 NaN
I support scientific applications at The University of Manchester (see my LinkedIn profile if you're interested in the details) and part of my job involves working on code written by researchers in a variety of languages. When I say 'variety' I really mean it – MATLAB, Mathematica, Python, C, Fortran, Julia, Maple, Visual Basic and PowerShell are some languages I've worked with this month for instance.
Having to juggle the semantics of so many languages in my head sometimes leads to momentary confusion when working on someone's program. For example, I've been doing a lot of Python work recently but this morning I was hacking away on someone's MATLAB code. Buried deep within the program, it would have been very sensible to be able to do the equivalent of this:
a=rand(3,3) a = 0.8147 0.9134 0.2785 0.9058 0.6324 0.5469 0.1270 0.0975 0.9575 >> [x,y,z]=a(:,1) Indexing cannot yield multiple results.
That is, I want to be able to take the first column of the matrix a and broadcast it out to the variables x,y and z. The code I'm working on uses MUCH bigger matrices and this kind of assignment is occasionally useful since the variable names x,y,z have slightly more meaning than a(1,3), a(2,3), a(3,3).
The only concise way I've been able to do something like this using native MATLAB commands is to first convert to a cell. In MATLAB 2013a for instance:
>> temp=num2cell(a(:,1)); >> [x y z] = temp{:} x = 0.8147 y = 0.9058 z = 0.1270
This works but I think it looks ugly and introduces conversion overheads. The problem I had for a short time is that I subconsciously expected multiple assignment to 'Just Work' in MATLAB since the concept makes sense in several other languages I use regularly.
from pylab import rand a=rand(3,3) [a,b,c]=a[:,0]
a = RandomReal[1, {3, 3}] {x,y,z}=a[[All,1]]
a=rand(3,3); (x,y,z)=a[:,1]
I'll admit that I don't often need this construct in MATLAB but it would definitely be occasionally useful. I wonder what other opinions there are out there? Do you think multiple assignment is useful (in any language)?
Last week I gave a live demo of the IPython notebook to a group of numerical analysts and one of the computations we attempted to do was to solve the following linear system using Numpy's solve command.
Now, the matrix shown above is singular and so we expect that we might have problems. Before looking at how Numpy deals with this computation, lets take a look at what happens if you ask MATLAB to do it
>> A=[1 2 3;4 5 6;7 8 9]; >> b=[15;15;15]; >> x=A\b Warning: Matrix is close to singular or badly scaled. Results may be inaccurate. RCOND = 1.541976e-18. x = -39.0000 63.0000 -24.0000
MATLAB gives us a warning that the input matrix is close to being singular (note that it didn't actually recognize that it is singular) along with an estimate of the reciprocal of the condition number. It tells us that the results may be inaccurate and we'd do well to check. So, lets check:
>> A*x ans = 15.0000 15.0000 15.0000 >> norm(A*x-b) ans = 2.8422e-14
We seem to have dodged the bullet since, despite the singular nature of our matrix, MATLAB has able to find a valid solution. MATLAB was right to have warned us though…in other cases we might not have been so lucky.
Let's see how Numpy deals with this using the IPython notebook:
In [1]: import numpy from numpy import array from numpy.linalg import solve A=array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]) b=array([15,15,15]) solve(A,b) Out[1]: array([-39., 63., -24.])
It gave the same result as MATLAB [See note 1], presumably because it's using the exact same LAPACK routine, but there was no warning of the singular nature of the matrix. During my demo, it was generally felt by everyone in the room that a warning should have been given, particularly when working in an interactive setting.
If you look at the documentation for Numpy's solve command you'll see that it is supposed to throw an exception when the matrix is singular but it clearly didn't do so here. The exception is sometimes thrown though:
In [4]: C=array([[1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1]]) x=solve(C,b) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LinAlgError Traceback (most recent call last) in () 1 C=array([[1,1,1],[1,1,1],[1,1,1]]) ----> 2 x=solve(C,b) C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\numpy\linalg\linalg.py in solve(a, b) 326 results = lapack_routine(n_eq, n_rhs, a, n_eq, pivots, b, n_eq, 0) 327 if results['info'] > 0: --> 328 raise LinAlgError('Singular matrix') 329 if one_eq: 330 return wrap(b.ravel().astype(result_t)) LinAlgError: Singular matrix
It seems that Numpy is somehow checking for exact singularity but this will rarely be detected due to rounding errors. Those I've spoken to consider that MATLAB's approach of estimating the condition number and warning when that is high would be better behavior since it alerts the user to the fact that the matrix is badly conditioned.
Thanks to Nick Higham and David Silvester for useful discussions regarding this post.
[1] – The results really are identical which you can see by rerunning the calculation after evaluating format long in MATLAB and numpy.set_printoptions(precision=15) in Python
Along with a colleague, I've been playing around with Anaconda Python recently and am very impressed with it. At the time of writing, it is at version 1.7 and comes with Python 2.7.5 by default but you can install Python 3.3 using their conda package manager. After you've installed Anaconda, just start up a Windows command prompt (cmd.exe) and do
conda update conda conda create -n py33 python=3.3 anaconda
It will chug along for a while, downloading and installing packages before leaving you with a Python 3.3 environment that is completely separated from the default 2.7.5 environment. All you have to do to activate Python 3.3 is issue the following command at the Windows command prompt
activate py33

The first stable version of KryPy was released in late July. KryPy is "a Python module for Krylov subspace methods for the solution of linear algebraic systems. This includes enhanced versions of CG, MINRES and GMRES as well as methods for the efficient solution of sequences of linear systems."
Here's a toy example taken from KryPy's website that shows how easy it is to use.
from numpy import ones from scipy.sparse import spdiags from krypy.linsys import gmres N = 10 A = spdiags(range(1,N+1), [0], N, N) b = ones((N,1)) sol = gmres(A, b) print (sol['relresvec'])
Thanks to KryPy's author, André Gaul, for the news.
I was recently chatting to a research group who were considering moving to Python from MATLAB for some of their research software output. One team member was very worried about Python's use of indentation to denote blocks of code and wondered if braces would ever find their way into the language? Another team member pointed out that this was extremely unlikely and invited us to attempt to import braces from the __future__ module.
>>> from __future__ import braces File "", line 1 SyntaxError: not a chance
xkcd is a popular webcomic that sometimes includes hand drawn graphs in a distinctive style. Here's a typical example
In a recent Mathematica StackExchange question, someone asked how such graphs could be automatically produced in Mathematica and code was quickly whipped up by the community. Since then, various individuals and communities have developed code to do the same thing in a range of languages. Here's the list of examples I've found so far
- xkcd style graphs in Mathematica. There is also a Wolfram blog post on this subject.
- xkcd style graphs in R. A follow up blog post at vistat.
- xkcd style graphs in LaTeX
- xkcd style graphs in Python using matplotlib
- xkcd style graphs in MATLAB. There is now some code on the File Exchange that does this with your own plots.
- xkcd style graphs in javascript using D3
- xkcd style graphs in Euler
- xkcd style graphs in Fortran
Any I've missed?
If you have an interest in mathematics, you've almost certainly stumbled across The Wolfram Demonstrations Project at some time or other. Based upon Wolfram Research's proprietary Mathematica software and containing over 8000 interactive demonstrations, The Wolfram Demonstrations Project is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in mathematics and related sciences; and now it has some competition.
Sage is a free, open source alternative to software such as Mathematica and, thanks to its interact function, it is fully capable of producing advanced, interactive mathematical demonstrations with just a few lines of code. The Sage language is based on Python and is incredibly easy to learn.
The Sage Interactive Database has been launched to showcase this functionality and its looking great. There's currently only 31 demonstrations available but, since anyone can sign up and contribute, I expect this number to increase rapidly. For example, I took the simple applet I created back in 2009 and had it up on the database in less than 10 minutes! Unlike the Wolfram Demonstrations Project, you don't need to purchase an expensive piece of software before you can start writing Sage Interactions….Sage is free to everyone.
Not everything is perfect, however. For example, there is no native Windows version of Sage. Windows users have to make use of a Virtualbox virtual machine which puts off many people from trying this great piece of software. Furthermore, the interactive 'applets' produced from Sage's interact function are not as smooth running as those produced by Mathematica's Manipulate function. Finally, Sage's interact doesn't have as many control options as Mathematica's Manipulate (There's no Locator control for example and my bounty still stands).
The Sage Interactive Database is a great new project and I encourage all of you to head over there, take a look around and maybe contribute something.
My attention was recently drawn to a Google+ post by JerWei Zhang where he evaluates 2^3^4 in various packages and notes that they don't always agree. For example, in MATLAB 2010a we have 2^3^4 = 4096 which is equivalent to putting (2^3)^4 whereas Mathematica 8 gives 2^3^4 = 2417851639229258349412352 which is the same as putting 2^(3^4). JerWei's post gives many more examples including Excel, Python and Google and the result is always one of these two (although to varying degrees of precision).
What surprised me was the fact that they disagreed at all since I thought that the operator precendence rules were an agreed standard across all software packages. In this case I'd always use brackets since _I_ am not sure what the correct interpretation of 2^3^4 should be but I would have taken it for granted that there is a standard somewhere and that all of the big hitters in the numerical world would adhere to it.
Looks like I was wrong!
Late last year I was asked to give a talk at my University to a group of academics studying financial mathematics (Black-Scholes, monte-carlo simulations, time series analysis – that sort of thing). The talk was about the NAG Numerical Library, what it could do, what environments you can use it from, licensing and how they could get their hands on it via our site license.
I also spent a few minutes talking about Python including why I thought it was a good language for numerical computing and how to interface it with the NAG C library using my tutorials and PyNAG code. I finished off with a simple graphical demonstration that minimised the Rosenbrock function using Python, Matplotlib and the NAG C-library running on Ubuntu Linux.
"So!", I asked, "Any questions?"
The very first reply was "Does your Python-NAG interface work on Windows machines?" to which the answer at the time was "No!" I took the opportunity to ask the audience how many of them did their numerical computing in Windows (Most of the room of around 50+ people), how many people did it using Mac OS X (A small group at the back), and how many people did it in Linux (about 3).
So, if I wanted the majority of that audience to use PyNAG then I had to get it working on Windows. Fortunately, thanks to the portability of Python and the consistency of the NAG library across platforms, this proved to be rather easy to do and the result is now available for download on the main PyNAG webpage.
Let's look at the main differences between the Linux and Windows versions
Loading the NAG Library
In the examples given in my Linux NAG-Python tutorials, the cllux08dgl NAG C-library was loaded using the line
libnag = cdll.LoadLibrary("/opt/NAG/cllux08dgl/lib/libnagc_nag.so.8")
In Windows the call is slightly different. Here it is for CLDLL084ZL (Mark 8 of the C library for Windows)
C_libnag = ctypes.windll.CLDLL084Z_mkl
If you are modifying any of the codes shown in my NAG-Python tutorials then you'll need to change this line yourself. If you are using PyNAG, however, then it will already be done for you.
Callback functions
For my full introduction to NAG callback functions on Linux click here. The main difference between using callbacks on Windows compared to Linux is that on Linux we have
C_FUNC = CFUNCTYPE(c_double,c_double )
but on Windows we have
C_FUNC = WINFUNCTYPE(c_double,c_double )
There are several callback examples in the PyNAG distribution.
That's pretty much it I think. Working through all of the PyNAG examples and making sure that they ran on Windows uncovered one or two bugs in my codes that didn't affect Linux for one reason or another so it was a useful exercise all in all.
So, now you head over to the main PyNAG page and download the Windows version of my Python/NAG interface which includes a set of example codes. I also took the opportunity to throw in a couple of extra features and so upgraded PyNAG to version 0.16, check out the readme for more details. Thanks to several employees at NAG for all of their help with this including Matt, John, David, Marcin and Sorin.

I've been working on a idea to hide/protect, my expensive light bar, for the last few years.. Baja Racks liked it, set up production, just launched it on Facebook . It's available for purchase and will bet fit on all utility racks. It was modeled off the FJ Rack , but, it will be be designed in with other Baja Racks too. It's a little exciting to see something I invented on the market

A Brooklyn construction boss is facing years in prison for theft and money laundering in a scheme involving the shakedown of his own employees, authorities say.
Leonid Fridman raked in more than $100,000 by paying workers the required prevailing wages on a Port Authority of New York and New Jersey construction project, then demanding most of the money back, New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced Monday (Feb. 4).
He then stashed the kickbacks in a Florida corporation he created for that purpose, authorities said.
Fridman is charged with multiple felony counts of grand larceny and money laundering and has been arraigned before Queens Criminal Court Judge Donna-Marie E. Golia on Friday. Bail was set at $5,000.
Covering His Tracks
"Mr. Fridman not only stole state dollars from his own workers, but he demanded kickbacks and laundered money to cover his tracks," Schneiderman said. "My office will continue to take action, including filing criminal charges, against employers who violate New York's labor laws, steal taxpayer dollars, and violate the public trust."
Millennium Commercial Corp. was contracted to build JetBlue's Terminal 5 at JFK Airport in 2010.
Fridman, 60, owned and operated Millennium Commercial Corp., a Brooklyn-based company that performed tile work, authorities said.
The company performed tile restoration work as a subcontractor on the renovation of the TWA Flight Center at John F. Kennedy Airport in 2009 and 2010.
Fridman could not be reached for comment.
Pay Reports and Kickbacks
Under the Port Authority contract for the project and the Labor Law, Fridman was required to pay his employees more than $50 per hour for laborers and mason tenders and more than $70 per hour for tile setters. According to court records, Fridman knew that he was required to pay prevailing wages, but still paid his workers only $10 to $30 per hour.
To avoid detection, Fridman filed false certified payroll reports that showed he had paid the appropriate wages and issued paychecks in the proper amounts, authorities said.
Leonid Fridman stole state dollars from his own workers, then "demanded kickbacks and laundered money to cover his tracks," said Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman.
But he then "made his workers cash the checks at his bank and kick back, or return, a majority of the cash to him" and "hid over $100,000 of the money he stole by moving it into the account of a Florida corporation he controlled, Green Investments Inc.," the attorney general said.
Potential Prison Terms
Fridman faces one count each of second-degree grand larceny and second-degree money laundering. Both are class "C" felonies punishable by up to five to 15 years behind bars. He also faces a class "D" felony, violation of labor law, and 52 counts each of first-degree falsification of business records and first-degree offering a false instrument for filing, class "E" felonies.
New York's prevailing wage law seeks to ensure that government contractors pay wages that are comparable to the local norms for a given trade. The law requires an hourly rate for construction work performed for public agencies that is well above the state minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, along with benefits, as well as higher wages for overtime, weekends or work at night.
"Companies doing business with municipalities, state agencies and authorities are legally bound to pay their employees the fair and prevailing wage," said Robert E. Van Etten, Inspector General for the Port Authority of NY and NJ.
"In this case, the defendant chose to enrich himself at the expense of his own workers by creating an elaborate fraud to conceal and disguise the nature, location, source, ownership and control of the funds.
"This arrest will serve notice to all contractors that the Port Authority of NY & NJ will not tolerate wage fraud or any other criminal misconduct on public projects. The Port Authority Office of the Inspector General and its Law Enforcement partners will aggressively identify, investigate and bring to justice those who corrupt the integrity of the construction industry."
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (2/11/2013, 9:28 AM)
Wait, you get paid $70/hr to lay tile in NYC?!?!
Comment from Mike McCloud, (2/11/2013, 10:57 AM)
Prevailing wage is making our country broke! The bridge painters are $67.00 +- with the bennies. Bennies, ha. Voters and tax payers should be better informed and up in arms.
Comment from Jerry Trevino, (2/11/2013, 12:01 PM)
We are blessed when some government entities allow us to keep some of our own money. I do not agree with the contractor requiring kickbacks, however, this story does open some eyes regarding some prevailing wages in this country.
Comment from M. Halliwell, (2/12/2013, 10:42 AM)
I guess we need to be sure on a couple points. Were the employees to make up to $70/hr take-home, did the $70/hr include benefits, or was the $70 the charge out rate? I don't take home $70/hr as a professional, I might gross it with benefits included, but my charge out rate is far higher...and it makes a big difference. Assuming they are talking take-home, I've seen skilled labour wages in that range, but it has only been in very high demand and demanding fields for folks with a good deal of experience.
Comment from L. Steven Moore, (2/12/2013, 11:21 AM)
Thought kick backs in one form or another were common practice in NYC
Comment from Charles Williams, (2/12/2013, 9:13 PM)
It probably isn't their first time doing this, just the first time being caught.
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (2/13/2013, 8:02 AM)
Also interesting is that "multiple felony counts" resulted in bail of just $5,000. Less than 5% of the money he is accused of extorting. To put it another way, less than 2 weeks of tiling wages.

I think snow is a fun surprise. We only had cold down here and no snow, so I mostly stayed indoors except when outside feeding the animals. In case you didn't see the news today, Mia, lots of the southern states from Texas to North Carolina received freezing rain, sleet, snow or some combination thereof. The people there may have been surprised by how much fell in some places. This winter has been full of weather surprises, and not necessarily good ones. |

Nitro PDF 9.0 review
Nitro Pro 9.0 is one of the finest PDF readers available.
Nitro PDF is a full-featured PDF reader and editor for Windows, upgraded to meet your needs at home and in the cloud.
Clean, fast design: Nitro has been redesigned to match modern UIs and fits comfortably with Microsoft's flagship Office suite. In many ways, Nitro is impressively designed, trumping many PDF tools with clear, vibrant icons, intuitive placement of tools, and subtle but intelligent use of color to make important features stand out.
Good value, plus cloud support: Nitro PDF is a robust application in both free and premium editions. Standard actions include the ability to mark up text, fill out documents and forms, create comments, and securely sign documents. You can share and collaborate via Nitro Cloud and work from the browser -- a perfect addition to working remotely, if you don't have access to the native tool.
Familiar work flows: Nitro places standard simple actions like drag and drop throughout the app and its cloud counterpart. When you're editing documents, Nitro provides guides to help you align text boxes and snap to grids.
Not for ribbon haters: Those who are turned off by ribbon-based layouts might be turned off by Nitro's tool layout.
Bottom Line
Nitro is robust, snappy, and a great alternative to Adobe Reader in so many ways we can barely count. There are very few cons we can think of: Even if ribbon layouts aren't for you, Nitro's execution may make you think otherwise. The entire application feels modern and should be a welcome addition to anyone who manages documents. Anytime you receive a PDF file and don't know how to handle it, turn to Nitro, because chances are the app can handle it.

The objectives of this schools project and the benefits to your class or club by participating are twofold:
- To give students practical experience of designing things to go into Space and visit other planets.
- To get students to consider careers in the UK Space and other high tech industries.
The Project
The MARSBalloon project is an STFC funded project, run by young space engineers from Thales Alenia Space UK, that will test student ideas for technologies that could one day be destined for Mars.
The aim is to test anything that humans or robots will be doing on Mars in the future.
In 2014 we plan to launch 200 experiment capsules on high altitude balloons 30km up into the Earth's atmosphere, a place where conditions of gas pressure, temperature and radiation are very similar to the surface of Mars.
This project is aimed at KS3 & 4 students (S2 to S5 in Scotland) and is open to any UK secondary school. There is no cost to take part in the project other than that of experiment materials and postage.
Important dates
17th February 2014: Teacher registration opens. (COMPLETED)
Mid-late April 2014: Announcement of first launch opportunity. Information packs sent out to registered teachers. (COMPLETED)
Mid-late June 2014: Launch of the first 100 experiments. (COMPLETED)
Early September 2014: Announcement of second launch opportunity. (COMPLETED)
Late October 2014: Launch of the second 100 experiments. (COMPLETED)
November 2014: Registration for spaces on flights in 2015 (NOW OPEN)
All dates are approximate and launch times are weather dependent.
What to expect
By registering your class or club to take part in MARSBalloon you will be reserving at least one experiment for a future flight. All of the slots for 2014 flights have now been allocated but you can still register your interest for flights in 2015. See the FAQ for more details on registration.
Please read the information pack which contains everything you need to know to get your students to make Mars experiments that can fly on our balloons, including:
- Information on exploring Mars and its surface environment;
- A complete list of rules that experiments must satisfy to be allowed to fly;
- Career advice for students who want to work in Space and related industries;
- Ideas for experiments;
Using the information pack your students can work to together to create Mars experiments, that fit inside a Kinder Egg capsule™, which you post to us so we can include them in the launch. Previous examples of experiments include testing the effect of Martian conditions on rubber bands, ink, memory sticks and 3D printed materials.
During the launch the balloon will ascend to 30km in approximately one hour where it will burst and the experiment tray will return to Earth via parachute. We will then collect the experiments and return them to your school for your students to analyse the results.
Pictures and video of your experiments in flight will be made available soon after landing.
Watch the video below of our latest flight, Tharsis, to see what you can expect from participating!
Register now to reserve a space for your class on the next flight!
Quotes from students
I enjoyed the MarsBalloon project, as it hooked me into space. It helped me to think how life will be in space and I crave to be an astronaut! I enjoyed thinking how the experiments would react in space and make my own predictions.
The project was a wonderful experience for me as it helped me in science to start thinking more about scientists and what they do. We have questions, especially me, and I would like to find the answers and I got encouraged to find out more. I would love to be an astronaut in future! We also got our answer on the sim card, knowing it will definitely work for scientists in space. In that way, we helped them!

"There's a lot of blame to go around," said Sen. Chuck Grassley (R) of Iowa. "As our investigation moves forward, and we get to the bottom of this policy, I wouldn't be surprised to see more fall out beyond the resignations and new assignments announced today."
The two officials reassigned by the Justice Department were Dennis Burke, the US attorney in Arizona who had been involved with the operation, and another Arizona investigator who was demoted from criminal case work to civil litigation.
So far, the DEA has admitted to playing an "indirect role" in the Fast and Furious gambit, but investigators are asking deeper questions about whether some of the cartel leaders receiving Fast and Furious weapons were paid informants of the DEA and FBI.
The Justice Department, which oversees the ATF, DEA, and FBI, has opened an investigation into the program at President Obama's request.
Mr. Melson led ATF as interim head since 2009, when a plan was hatched to stymie cross-border gun trafficking.

BetterPhoto Member: Jeffrey L. Harwell
I purchased my first D-SLR in July of 2008, after having my digital point-and-shoot for only about 10 months (purchased in October 2007). I have always loved taking pictures (although I am just getting into it more seriously) and enjoying the beauty in the world around us, natural or man-made. I love taking pictures of all sorts - landscapes, macro, architecture, people, abstract. The world has so much beauty to offer (as evidenced by the numerous beautiful pictures on BetterPhoto) if people would simply take the time to stop and enjoy it.
